Connect piping
In order to ensure that the dryer operates optimally, the dryer must be assembled
into the compressed air system free of all stresses.
►
Ensure before connection that all infeed and outfeed compressed air lines
and valves are clean and undamaged.
►
Check the bolt connections and retighten if necessary, as they could have
worked loose during transportation.
►
Remove plugs on the pressure inlet and outlet.
All piping must be free from any stress and tension whatever!
Pipes subject to stress may burst due to the load placed on them during
operation. This may cause damage to property and personal injury.
►
Use steel pipes to connect the dryer to the compressed air system.
The following figure shows an installation example.

Example of an installation with bypass line
►
The connection lines for the upstream filter (3) are to be installed at a slight
incline in the direction of the upstream filter.
►
One shutdown valve each (2, 6) is to be installed at the compressed air inlet
and outlet ends of the dryer.
►
If you fit a bypass line (8) with additional shutdown valve:
Fit the line such that, when carrying out maintenance work on the dryer, the
line system can continue to be supplied with compressed air.
